Our visiting Ales last year (2018) were as shown below - we will aim to have something equal to tease your enjoyment in 2019 (details to follow nearer the time):

From the XT Brewery (Animal Brewing Co) - HOP KITTY - 3.9% Hyper Hop Pale A Low on ABV pale ale, huge on Hops. Packed with more Citra and Cascade than ever before. HopKitty is bursting with intense tropical and citrus flavours. Lighty toasted malts give a hint of sweetness before a second round of hops, big Mango and Lychee zest courtesy of a generous Citra third round of dry hopping. Just like every crazy cat person, you won't be stopping with one.

We also offer additional pints of the above at £3.50 each (subject to supplies not running out!) and and we stock our own Vale Brewery supplied Wychert and Red Kite, plus a selection of wines and soft drinks etc.

Something to soak it up? We will be serving an optional Fish & Chips, Steak Pie & Chips or Veggie Burger & Chips - all at £7.50 each and sent to our train freshly cooked from our local Chinnor Chippie (served around 20.00 - 20.15). You must pre-order your meal when booking your ticket.
